ABSTRACT

Exanthematic diseases are a systemic infections group, most frequent during the pediatric age. Its main characteristic is rash, either primary or as part of a systemic process. Abrupt eruption affect different areas of the skin simultaneously. Some clinical features can help distinguish one from each other. In early stages, clinical diagnosis can be confused and can lead to an inadequate diagnosis and delay specific treatment in some etiologies. In children with rash plus fever, infectious diseases are the main etiology (65 to 100% of cases), and virus cause about 72% of them. Other cases a different microbial etiology has been found. Fever behavior review in some exanthematic diseases is presented.
